They don't exist on paper.

They don't answer to Congress.

They were built to protect the Republic from the shadows.

Nova Dunn has spent twenty-one years carrying her father's dog tags-and the weight of unanswered questions. Jonathan Dunn died on a classified mission when she was eight years old. At least, that's what she was told.

Now recruited into The Organization, the same covert force that sent her father on his final operation, Nova is beginning to realize that some classified secrets cut deeper than others.

Operating under federal cover, Nova is thrust into three escalating missions that will test her loyalty, discipline, and survival. She must confront a corrupt official selling secrets to Russian intelligence. Hunt down a missing nineteen-year-old girl and dismantle the trafficking network that erased her. And face a Russian enforcer known only as Bull-a man who believes he cannot be stopped.

He's wrong.

Perfect for fans of Jack Reacher, Orphan X, and Atomic Blonde, The Organization: Operative Nova is a relentless, character-driven spy thriller featuring a new kind of hero-one forged by loss, driven by truth, and trained to operate where the light never reaches.

"A deeply moving, powerful cautionary tale... I highly recommend this book for its emotional grip and lasting impact." — Literary Book ReviewsSomething was wrong with Mom's money. He just couldn't prove it.

The credit card charges didn't make sense. Groceries seven times the national average for a woman who never topped 105 pounds. Hundreds at Sam's Club five days before she died while she was housebound in assisted living, barely eating, her apartment nearly empty. The caregiver had an answer for everything. So did the lawyer. So did the bank.

Then the caregiver died. Or disappeared.

The body was the wrong weight. Seventy pounds too heavy at cremation. No obituary. No funeral. No daughters on the death certificate. A death at a hospital an hour from home, one she'd visited months earlier, driving past three closer ones to get there.

Eight days earlier, Charles Wallace had blocked a $250,000 annuity payout, the last big payday from his mother's estate.

It started simply enough. A caregiver knocked on Joell Fleming's door with bagels and a smile. The 78-year-old widow — sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, survivor of five marriages, let a predator inside.

Esmarelda Gomez sat in the room when the neurologist scored Joell 16 out of 30 on cognitive testing. She watched the diagnosis happen. Then the spending exploded. Within three years, nearly $1 million was gone. Children removed from medical power of attorney. A new will naming the caregiver for a six-figure annuity. Credit cards used at the caregiver's home address twenty-five miles away the last charge the day after Joell died.

Doctors, lawyers, banks, and Adult Protective Services all missed it.

From 700 miles away, Charles Wallace spent five years pulling a decade of credit card records and building the forensic case the professionals never did. Cards that went from two declines in seven years to a 59% decline rate. Two cards cycled at the register within seconds of each other. A dual food supply prepared meals for his mother, bulk groceries for someone else's household.

She'd done this before. An elderly man years earlier. Same playbook. Same attorney handling both victims across thirteen years. Fired from a caregiving agency for misusing client data, she kept working privately invisible to every system designed to stop her.

Then came the exit. A secluded house purchased before she emptied the storage unit. A U-Haul returned with 460 extra miles. Forty-three boxes never delivered to charity. A death at a remote hospital she'd established herself at months earlier. Eighteen months later, her executor quietly bought that house.

The Caregiver's Game is a forensic true crime investigation and a warning for every family with an aging parent. It exposes how caregiver fraud hides in plain sight in the credit card statements no one checks, the groceries that don't add up, the documents signed by someone who can't understand them and it arms you with the warning signs before it's too late.

Both a true crime investigation and a safeguard. For readers of Ann Rule and for every adult child who worries about a parent, especially the ones who think it could never happen to them.

If the charges on your parent's credit card don't make sense, this book will show you what to look for. And what happens when no one does.

What really happens behind prison walls and what does it cost the people who work there?
In Inside the Walls, Scott G. Metcalf delivers a correctional officer memoir that takes away stereotypes and exposes the reality of life inside a modern prison. From his first disorienting day walking through steel gates to the emotional toll of years spent maintaining order in a system built on control, this book offers a rare, insider’s view of the prison world few ever see.
This is not a story about heroes or villains. It is a deeply human account of prison life, where trust is fragile and survival depends as much on emotional discipline as physical vigilance. Metcalf explores the unspoken rules among officers, the psychological weight of constant threat and the scars that follow long after the shift ends.
Blending memoir, social commentary, and lived experience, Inside the Walls speaks to readers interested in criminal justice, law enforcement memoirs, and the unseen cost of maintaining public safety. It is a powerful reflection on integrity and what it means to carry humanity into a place designed to strip it away.
If you want to understand prison life from the inside, this book will stay with you long after the final page.

An ancient power awakens. A kingdom falls. And heroes are forged in the ashes…
For centuries, the mortal realms have known peace—protected by myth, memory, and the belief that the age of Valors and dark sorcery had long faded into legend.
They were wrong.

A Princess on the Run. A Hunter with a Past. A World on the Brink.
Princess Wravin of Avondale is young, bright‑spirited, and blissfully unaware of the evil gathering beyond her borders…until the storm comes.
Not wind.
Not rain.
But sorcery—violent and alive.
When her kingdom is attacked and her family shattered, Wravin is thrust into a desperate flight for survival. Her unlikely protector: Rasband, a haunted wanderer with secrets etched into his scars—and a reputation whispered around every fire. A man who has hunted the immortal. A man who has killed one.
Together, they must outwit the monstrous forces pursuing them and survive long enough to uncover why the royal bloodline has become the target of an ancient darkness.
Across the realms, another war begins…
In the northern kingdom of Bulwark, tragedy strikes again when a nightmare born of snow and shadow tears apart the royal family. Torak Jordin—once a man of honor and hope—descends into grief so deep it threatens to consume his kingdom. But when a mysterious woman appears claiming a connection to ancient magic, Jordin must ask himself:
Is she a savior…or the beginning of something far more terrifying?

A wonderful romance ensues as Kendra and Cody explore the river, the art of fly fishing, and each other. But turns out the story is one that is full of deception and ends in the fight of her life.
The story begins as Kendra heads to the mountains for a day's fly fishing lesson. Her guide, Cody, is charming, eclectic, funny and enigmatic. The relationship evolves as they experience loss, grief and love together. One thing is certain: Cody has many surprises up his sleeve.
Throughout the memoir, based on the personal experiences of the writer, pictures are painted with words and the reader is transformed by the beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park scenery.
If not for Kendra's faith, she may never have found the impulsive courage that ultimately saves her life.
The first of an expected trilogy, the other memoirs continuing her journey as a now survivor of domestic violence. Diagnosed with Complex PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder, the writer must learn to survive again - the road is difficult and fraught with heartache and despair as she discovers the awful truth about the man she married and tries to maintain her sanity.
While there certainly exist stories of domestic violence, I feel this one is different because of the special sort of evil that the antagonist, Cody, possesses. I believe he is on the spectrum and if properly diagnosed it would be clear that he is a malignant narcissist. Those with this diagnosis are conniving, dishonest, mirror their subjects, reel them in and and suck them dry in countless ways.
And I had no idea.
All the names have been changed in the memoir, but not the locations.
Think “A River Runs Through It” meets “Dirty John” meets “Miracles From Heaven”!

Harry Groves was ten years old when the world decided he didn’t matter.
At school, he was the kid everyone picked on. At home, he was the kid who learned to stay quiet when fists flew and bottles smashed. He was hungry more often than not, exhausted all the time, and somehow still expected to protect the one person who mattered more than anything else — his seven-year-old autistic little sister, Sara, and her one-eyed teddy bear, Bear.
Sara didn’t understand the shouting, the chaos, or why home never felt safe. She didn’t understand fear the way Harry did. But Harry understood it all too well, and he learned quickly that if he didn’t stand between her and the world, nobody else would.
Then came the day everything changed.
The day Harry lost Sara at the hands of the very people who were meant to keep her safe.
Her death didn’t just break him — it lit a fuse.
Years later, carrying grief like a constant ache in his chest and clinging to his promise to look after Bear, Harry finds a way to turn pain into purpose. What starts as a fragile idea becomes something bigger than he ever imagined: THE PLAY© — a raw, fearless youth musical where kids like him don’t sit quietly at the back anymore. They step into the spotlight. They rehearse. They sing, dance and perform. And, for the first time, they are truly heard.
But THE PLAY© is more than a performance.
Built into the heart of the project are trauma-informed mental health workshops, giving young people safe, structured spaces to talk about what they’re carrying — bullying, cyberbullying, racism, loneliness, domestic violence, gangs, knife carrying, antisocial behaviour, grief, anxiety, anger, and the desperate need to belong. Through creativity, shared experience, and guided support, the cast begin to understand themselves and each other in ways that school, social services, and the system never managed.
Told in Harry’s raw, funny and heartbreakingly honest voice, THE PLAY© is the first book in a powerful YA series where every cast member has a story worth telling — and every story matters. It’s about broken kids finding strength, about chosen family, and about learning that survival doesn’t have to be the end of the story.
With two live productions of the musical already completed and the project gaining momentum far beyond the page, THE PLAY© is no longer just a novel — it’s a movement, and one that is destined to be a future TV drama.
This is a story about pain, yes — but more than that, it’s about hope, courage, and what can happen when young people are finally given the space to speak.
Once the curtain rises, there’s no going back.

Chapter 6: The Missions, Part 1
The familiar, pulsing energy waves began one night and I found myself propelled toward the ceiling. I tore through the insulation with ease and I emerged into a hidden passage that led me into a dark, grimy tunnel. Rough, timeworn posts supported the crumbling walls and crude ceiling joists jutted through a choking haze that clung to my every breath. The floor was nothing more than compacted earth and an eerie intuition whispered that I was not alone, that unseen others were following.
Without warning, I experienced a sudden blackout, a fleeting moment of oblivion and when my awareness snapped back into focus, I discovered that I now resided inside a gigantic, powerfully built male body. I was experiencing everything through his eyes, acutely aware of the pounding of his boots and the mechanical jerk of his head as we lumbered resolutely down the tunnel.
Our consciousness had merged, his resolute determination and relentless tenacity intertwining with my own, along with an almost primordial anger, a furnace of fury and raw Rage. He was a stranger to this body, clearly distraught and unwilling to accept being the living embodiment of Rage. Two handlers trailed behind us, their nervous energy radiating unease and even fear as we advanced into the unknown.
At last, we emerged from the subterranean tunnel and were greeted by the radiant glow of a magnificent city. I found myself inhabiting The Color Red body and this perspective afforded me a breathtaking view from high above. The city’s architecture was futuristic. Towering megastructures soared skyward, while smaller, graceful domed edifices radiated around them, creating an urban landscape that stretched endlessly in every direction.
